Tuesday Evening Gala Event

The IIA’s International Conference Gala has been a traditional highlight of this annual gathering and this year’s event promises to be no exception. You’ll join delegates from around the world for a special cocktail hour and sumptuous dinner. Music enthusiasts will be delighted with an authentic Chicago Blues concert, and everyone can dance the night away.

The night's entertainment headliners include Lonnie Brooks and his Voo Doo Blues Band. Long before Lonnie was headlining major blues festivals and sharing stages with the likes of Eric Clapton, he was forging his bayou-swamp-music-meets-Chicago-blues-via-Texas style.

Also performing is The Chicago Blues Review which is led by pianist/composer/arranger, Marshall Vente, one ofChicago’s most popular local musicians. This band centers onMarshall’s love for all forms ofChicagoblues and features the legendary Cash McCall, one of the stalwarts of Chess Records in the late 1950’s.

Tickets for the Gala cost US$150 and may be purchased on-site at the Hyatt at the IIA registration desk (staffed by IIA),located to the left of the entrance to the Grand Ballroom.

Dress: Cocktail attire, jackets required.
